BENEFITS YACHT.
The Elegantly Equipped Floating Palace
of the Newspaper Millionaire.

OF the newspaper MIIllOnalre.
James Gordon Bennett has one of the
SWEETEST yachts in the world. 1t is a
boat of seven hundred tons burden,
almost as large as any of the old-style
Cunarders. 1t takes crew of fifty
men to run it, with six walters to serve
the tables for Bennett and his guests.
A friend, who has Just returned from
Europe and has been cruising on Mr.
Benefits boat, said that life on his
craft was a dream. A French cook
furnished the finest eating, and an Al
derney COW is carried in zinc stall on
the boat, so that the choicest of fresh
milk could be had ut every meal. The
daily life was an inspiration. In the
morning coffee and fruit were served
in the state-rooms before the people
arose. Then bath, where servant
was furnished, who rubbed the guest
down with the choicest Turkish towels
Then marmalade and sweets, and about
one o'clock u breakfast in elegant
shape. Dinner in the evening, with all
the surroundings that would tend to
make man satisfied with his lot. In
this way Mr.. Bennett sees the world.
He is everywhere recognized as man
of strong talents and sterling executive
ability. If he should try he could make
himself power anywhere. His income
is certainly more than 100000 a year,
and what does it mean to him or to his
country? He is forty-six years old and
still unmarried. Unless he soon finds
mate, the vast estate which he has in
herited will go to those who can not
transmit to posterity the name or the
fame OF the Bennetts. 49, Brooklgn Uatota

TABLE DECORATION.
Late Fashions in Cut-GIass and Other
Costly Features of Ornament.

Late Fashions in Cut and Other
Costly Features of Ornament.
The latest thing in the way of cut
glass decorations is the introduction of
gilded brass mountings, and the device
will command the admiration of all who
appreciate chaste, artistcally designed
ornaments. Massive center pieces have
for long been at a discount, and they
are yet conspicuous by their absence.
Grace and elegance of form compensate
for massive grandeur. The trades play
into one another's hands. 1t is well
known that inscrutable fashion has de-
creed that flowers must be arranged for
the nonce as lightly as possible, and
with a view to naturalistic effects. Con-
sequently centel-pieces are composed
of several receptacles for flowers, in
cluded in one framework. For instance,
small bowl is supported in gilded
brass; outside this runs ring of brass,
in which are inserted at intervals
dwarfed specimen glasses. that should
hold two or three rare blooms at the
utmost, just thrown up with their nat
ural foliage, if possible, or, lacking
that, with a frond or so of feathery
ferns. As accomplishments to this there
are corner vases, fruit dishes, claret
jugs, candlesticks, in fact all requisite
articles for holding flowers and fruit for
disseminating light are en- suite. Some
of the claret and water jugs are fitted
with a band of open brass work round
the neck, the fruit dishes having the
same ornament round the foot. Those
who prefer lamps to candelabras and
candlesticks find it difficult to make
choice, so charming are the designs.
with no hint of heaviness, the laws of
ornament having been as duly consid-
cred as those Of utility. Glass plateaux
are still in use, and they are bound at
the edge with brass, Another pretty
conceit is center vase, surrounded by
pendant glasses of various shapes,
which are upheld by delicately fine
chains, lightly festooned. Single egg
shaped vases, which answer well for
corner ornaments, are furnished with
gilded mountings, from which spring
up sprays of foliage and berries. All
the glass is cut after the fine old pat
tern fashionable about one hundred
years ago, but we are assured that
there is a lightness about the modern
that renders it the superior. However
that may be, there are few who, hav-
ing store of the intricately-cut crystal
gems of the past century, would ex-
change it for the new. Unhappily it is
only too liable to be fractured, and so
we have recourse to new to save our
treasure that has history of its own.

MaIformatIon of the Eye.

"a strange case of malformation OF
the eye came undermy notice the other
day." said an optician recently. "A
young man just from Germany came to
me, asking to have pair of glasses
fitted. On examination found that, in
pain language, one of his eyes was of
a microscopic character, while the other
partook Of the keenness and rays of u
telescope. Far or near sightedness is
by no means rare, and even both fail
ings are often found in the same indi-
vidual. But this is one of those rare
combinations not often found. By
closing the right eye the man could
distinguish people and see small objects
at an almost phenomenal distance,
while his left was so formed that it was
only of use in reading, and he couldn't
decipher small print very well without
the aid of eyeglasses. In all my expert
ence never saw men so badly af-

THE GAME OF RINGOAL.
A Pastime that is Fast Becoming Popular
in the East.


A party of young ladies and gentle
men was engaged the other day in
playing new game on a vacant lot
north of Seventy-second street, near
Central Park, West. A crowd of spec
tators was attracted to the scene. The
game comes within the range of polite
athletics, is not unlike the ancient
''grace hoop" which our grand-mam-
mas INDUCED in when they were giddy
girls, ever so long go.
The name of the sport is Ringoal, and
it is of English origin. The rings used
are not light weight, as in ''la grace, !"
but are made of split bamboo strands,
covered with leather and have fiat,
disk-like shape. The batons are also
heavier than in the old game, and a
code of rules regulates the players.
The hoops are thrown from the sticks
with good deal of force, in all sorts
of ways, from one player to another.
The trick is to catch the flying hoop on
the baton. 1t is possible to send the
hoop on almost level line over dis
lance of hundred feet, but such long
throws are not necessary according 10
the rules.
The knack of throwing is said to be
not very difficult to acquire, and almost
any person can learn by observation
the method of handling the sticks and
delivering the hoops. At first, to the
uninitiated spectator, the game seems
somewhat monotonous, since there is
little running about or fielding; but to
the experienced player it is evidently
exciting, because, the latter alleges,
that no small amount of skill and a
great deal of variety is required in the
various throws and catches. There are
several experienced players in the Rim
goal Association, new club Just or
ganized.
There are several advantages about
this new game. In place of requiring
a large plot of level ground, as in GRO
quet or lawn tennis, ringoal may be
played along the margin of a grassy
lawn, or on a board walk or dirt court
for that matter, as not much space is
required. On an ordinary tennis court
at least half dozen games of ringoal
may be played simultaneously, and it
may even be carried on over irregular
ground where other games would be
impossible.
One of the merits of the game is to
train the eye and develop the muscles
of the chest and shoulders, thus insur-
ing an erect carriage of the body and
bringing the players to graceful atti-
tudes. There is more style, so-called
in playing ringoal than in any other
game. for the posture may be made
very effective. The muscles are brought
into play equally on each side of the
body, unlike tennis, where only the
right arm is developed ordinarily.
A quick eye is necessary in playing
ringoal well, as the difficult feature is
the receiving. A good server sends the
hoop along swiftly close to the ground,
and the receiver must be agile enough
to thrust the baton into it from above,
and save it for count. 'Rah for rim

PRESENCE OF MIND.
How Senator Evarts Once Made Telling

HOW Senator Evarts Once Made Telling
Hit Before IA Jury.
At New York City, in the fall of 1856,
a case was tried before Judge Suther-
land, in which the law firm of Evarts,
Southmayd & Choate appeared for the
defense. Mr., Evarts made the con-
Guiding argument, and the fame of the
great counselor secured for him con-
siderable audience of lawyers from
neighboring courts, in addition to many
persons who had more or less interest
in the proceedings.
Mr.. Evarts had been speaking for
some hours and was evidently nearing
his perorati6n. He began to sum up
his arguments, and asked, impressively,
what answer could be made to them.
Again he placed the points in lucid
array, and again asked similar ques-
ton. Then third time he restated his
case with vivid eloquence, and once
more, in louder tones, wound up with:
"What is their answer
He paused. You could have heard
pin drop. Suddenly the door of the
courtroom opened, and peddler, stick
ing his head and feather-dust into
the opening, cried out:
"Broomsr'
In a moment the room was ringing
with uncomfortable laughter in which
every body joined-even the Judge on
the bench and the orator himself Mr..
Evarts, however, kept on his feet, and
was the first to recover composure
With his hand raised to command at
tention, as the roar subsidized, he said
solemnly:
THAT was not, indeed, the reply
which l expected. But you may rest
assured that when you do get their
answer you will find equally frivolous
and inconsequent. "-AmericaW Maya

MOnotony Of Farm Life.

The monotony Of farm life and its at
tendant dangers are we'll shown by the
fact that the large majority Of the inmates
Of our insane asylums have been farmers
or their wives. The never ending round
of work, with no opportunities for amuse-
ment, are the predominant features Of
such life. The dangers to physical health
are also many. The water supply is too
often contaminated by surface water con
tanning decomposing animal and vegetable
matters, while the sleeping rocms, in win
ter especially, are too frequently badly
ventilated, and too warm OF too cold.
The need Of change of scene, of air and Of
water is as pressing for the farmer and
his family as for the merchant and the
society lady.-Globe-De Democrat.
